Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for performing an error correction operation using a direct-input column redundancy scheme are described. A device that has read data from data planes may replace data from one of the planes with redundancy data from a data plane storing redundancy data. The device may then provide the redundancy data to an error correction circuit coupled with the data plane that stored the redundancy data. The error correction circuit may operate on the redundancy data and transfer the result of the operation to select components in a connected error correction circuit. The components to which the output is transferred may be selected based on data plane replaced by the redundancy data. The device may generate syndrome bits for the read data by performing additional operations on the outputs of the error correction circuit.
